Answer 1

Look at IRA (Irish Republican Army) bombings in London and Belfast from the early 1960's to the 1980's. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Re the above answers regarding Glasgow, I can explain some of it. The root of the problems is that getting on for 100,000 people came here from Ulster between 150 and 100 years ago, Catholics and protestants, and brought their problems with them. Sadly, with such a large number of people, they made it part of the culture here. That said, it is really not representative of the general population of Glasgow or the Glasgow area. We are talking about a relatively small number of people, on both sides, who are generally pretty much reviled by everyone else. There are two main reasons it persists as an issue at all - Old Firm football (i.e. Rangers and Celtic) and Catholic schools. The football provides a reason for rivalry (mostly friendly) and separate schools prevent kids from meeting each other and breed distrust. My best friend as a small child was a catholic but when we went to primary school his brothers told me I wasn't allowed to play with him any more! I only had limited contact with Catholics until I went to university 12 years later. And guess what? I discovered the Catholics were just like me and felt exactly the same way about all this sillyness.

Answer 3

There are none that I know of.

Some might propose Northern Ireland but that is really political not religious.

The media, who is always looking for short cuts and not the whole story, calls the participants Catholics and Protestants.

The conflict is about whether the British territory (probably the wrong word) of Northern Ireland should remain British or should become part of Ireland.

The majority of people in Ireland are Catholics. The majority of people in England and Northern Ireland are Protestants. There are actually Catholics and Protestants on either side.

The terrorists on either side of the issue are not Christian in any sense of the word.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

It began in 1517, when Martin Luther nailed his "Ninety-five Theses on the Power of Indulgences" to the door of a church in Wittenburg, Germany.

This started the Protestant Reformation, and his followers came to be known as Lutherans.

At about the same time, in Switzerland, a similar movement spawned the formation of, among other things, the Anabaptists - we know them as the Amish and the Mennonites.

Both were able to gain a foothold against the papacy because the printing press, invented in 1440, allowed for the quick, unskilled reproduction of the written word.

Henry VIII of England introduced Protestantism in the 1500s as well, so he could divorce his many wives, and established the Church of England, with the king (himself) as its head.

These 3 examples weren't as violent as the IRA movement, but taken in historical context, were explosively revolutionary.
